We are a fairly big fan of chicken parmesan, a timeless dish that sprang from the rustic rolling hills of Italy in the 13th century and if you believe that we have a bridge in front of New York-New York to sell you.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s not Italian, but as the kids say, we DGAF.<\/p>\n

Our love of chicken parm knows no bounds, so we’re going to share the best chicken parm sandwiches in Las Vegas, because writing stories about the openings of the new Fontainebleau and Durango casinos would involved “effort,” and we are not only a renowned chicken parm expert, but also a world-class procrastinator. Let’s do this!<\/p>\n

A.I. likes vegetation, clearly. We’d pick it off.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chicken parm isn’t taken seriously by serious food people, also known as “people you want to strangle after five minutes of bloviating about what other people should and shouldn’t enjoy.” You know, asshats.<\/p>\n

Food critics haven’t been relevant since 1975, honestly. People like what they like and Yelp wins. Get used to it.<\/p>\n

Our first pick is the glorious chicken parm sandwich at Esther’s Kitchen<\/a> in downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"\"
If we could only eat one thing for the rest of our life, this might be it. Assuming chocolate chip cookies weren’t an option.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not only is this the best-tasting chicken parm sandwich in town, it’s the most photogenic of the various chicken parm sandwiches.<\/p>\n

Our only qualm is this sandwich is only on the lunch menu at Esther’s Kitchen, which is why we don’t eat it every day, as that would involve waking up before noon.<\/p>\n

Our second choice for best chicken parm sandwich in Las Vegas is also a bit off the beaten path, which we realize was a huge missed opportunity to say “off the eaten path,” but we have no time for “doing things over to make them better.” This is a blog! We only move forward!<\/p>\n

Santa Fe casino’s new Stallone’s Italian Eatery<\/a> serves a selection of garlic knot sliders, one of which is chicken parm. It’s $6.99 for one, and it’s the food equivalent of going down a slide made of tongues in a Viagra bathing suit into a pool full of labium. But in a good way.<\/p>\n

Look, we are not a foodie, we just know the sandwich at Stallone’s was delicious. It was also very healthy because garlic is a vegetable.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The only thing better than this is drunk this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our final selection for the top three isn’t pretty.<\/p>\n

It’s another new offering from a casino in the Station Casinos family, Durango.<\/p>\n

The casino has a food hall where you can find Uncle Paulie’s Las Vegas<\/a>. We heard good buzz about the place, so had to try the chicken parm.<\/p>\n

As we mentioned when we first shared a photo, the sandwich resembled a crime scene, but we persevered. Mind you, we warned them we’d be taking a photo for our blog. Whatever. The sandwich was fantastic!<\/p>\n

\"\"
If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, why in the hell are you having a chicken parm sandwich?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’re fairly sure you have other ideas about the best chicken parm sandwiches in Las Vegas, and we’d love to hear them, as long as you agree with us.<\/p>\n

We trust we haven’t had all the chicken parm sandwiches in Las Vegas, so please let us know if you have a favorite.<\/p>\n

The best chicken parm entree is another subject entirely, of course.<\/p>\n

Our favorite overall chicken parm in Las Vegas is at Triple George<\/a>, across from Downtown Grand. They used to have a chicken parm slider, but it was a loss leader, so now it’s old-school chicken parm.<\/p>\n

We have begged the management at Downtown Grand and Triple George to bring back a chicken parm sandwich or slider, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The price went up (it’s $38), so now we only have it on special occasions, but we have a lot of special occasions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The other best chicken parm in Vegas is at Al Solito Posto<\/a>, in Summerlin. Not served in sandwich form, but it’s life-altering. Not surprising, since the chef (Chef James Trees) behind Al Solito Posto is also behind the aforementioned Esther’s Kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Slap the complimentary focaccia around this, chicken parm sandwich.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An also-ran in the chicken parm contest may be a surprise. When we’re mid-Strip, we hit Carlos’n Charlie’s<\/a> for their Parmesan Swiss Chicken. It’s not exactly authentic Mexican fare, but they don’t claim it is, so chill.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Probably should’ve saved our labia metaphor for this dish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Modesty precludes us from mentioning the fact our ongoing love of this dish resulted in our being included on the Carlos’n Charlie’s menu, rating the dish six out of five stars.<\/p>\n

\n

Our friends at Carlos’n Charlie’s have a new menu.
We LOL’d. (Reminder: We have no business relationship with any casino, restaurant or other Vegas entity, nor have we ever done paid\/sponsored posts. We share things we like.) @CncharliesLV<\/a> @FlamingoVegas<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/LEPqy8mXXB<\/a><\/p>\n
